lyrics

The Buddha machine with the seventh seal
is peeling chrome from the steering wheel
A fitting retort to someone's New Deal

All over the shop
Number 1 crop
Start 2 3 4 7 8 Stop
Not a slave out of place
Don't let your guard drop
in Zanzibar

I can't stop the things going round in my bed
but then I fall asleep at the watershed
I'm tucked in, it shorts out the overhead
in Zanzibar

The monkey is asleep but he twists and turns
He twists my mind until it burns
He Looks all day but he never Learns
in Zanzibar

She doesn't have a name, they just call her Child
A peacock screaming as the telephone dialled
Walking on her hands as the gardener smiled
in Zanzibar
